Am I doing something wrong?

I was measuring how many bars I got from a super combo. It came out to be only 3.5, which I feel like is a bit low. I was leveling on the 125-129 Blackstones.

The skills I'm using are:
Sharp shot - 30/30
Double shot - 30/30
Light heal - 35/30
Sharpen weapons - 30/30
Steady aim - 10/30
(Note - people say steady aim gives more damage, however I tested it on a strength build AND a dex build and in both cases sharpen weapons gave about 20-25 more)

Always found hybrid builds bad for rangers, our dex skills are mediocre so you would need most of your pts in dex for them to be somewhat effective, auto build is good for only when you have 3+ dl pieces and good damage boosting gear.

Right now try experimenting with a dex heavy build using Royal, grand longshot or sharpshot rings.

That's what I'm doing. 200 strength is the lowest I could get away with though :)

The problem is sharp shot. Just ewww. And double shot, like all level based skills, should be able to hit mobs 10 levels above you.

3.5 bars is pretty good in my opinion. Some places are just better xp then others and xp will vary on how much you get at certain locations

Personally, dex build is bad for lvling. Im str build and i am able to get 4-5 bars a lvl, items i use (im lvl 126 as well)
full frozen - breastplate
adamant bow
Lvl 100 fire dmg quiver
sunshard ammy (i still get 4 bars without it)
Lvl 125 +40 magic sunfire dmg charm
+4 pierce, +1 crush bracelets (getting aggy bracelets)
1 godly firefang ring
1 godly coldsteel ring
1 godly stormfist ring
Haste ring
skills
Double shot (25/30)
Light heal (30/30)
Rapid shot (25/30)
Entangle (25/30)
Camouflage (25/30)
I love favorite option now, so i switch to obsidian bow for double shot, then switch back to adamant bow for auto.
Stats
enough vit to have 1.6k hp
Rest in str....(yes, i have no dex)

At your level I got around 4-5 bars solo. Go full str. Even though it may not seem like much dmg with str it is better than a hybrid build imo. Ur gear is also great, but personally I would add 2 more dmg rings in place of ur skill ring and haste ring when u lvl. On android at ur lvl I used adamant bow, meteoric(until 130) fire quiv (100) wyld ammy(peirce), spiderweb needle charm, 75 dex aggy brac , 75 str aggy brac, 4 dmg rings. The 2 extra rings and all str (200 base vit) was the best build I found at that lvl. For skills I used dbl rapid bolas steady and sharpen. If you want you could drop rapid for heal but I found heal to just waste time on lix.
